Q: HELP WITH WIFI

Hi! I have an apple airport extreme connected to my internet modem and its responsible for delivering the wifi to my home. I have in one of the rooms an old PC which cannot access this wifi once it doesn't support this kind of technology and I would like to connect to it (through an ethernet cable) to an apple airport express that I also have at home but I really don’t know if its possible to mirror this base to the other one. Can someone tell me if I can make it to access my wifi and then connect it to this old PC? Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

     

    You don't want to connect the old PC to the router with a USB cable as that will not give you internet access.

    What you want to use is a network cable (CAT5e / CAT6) to connect to the back of the old PC to the router.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.
